An Earthquake Story.

As a kind of dessert to the many grave
stories which are told after visiting the re-
mains of the houses churchyards and monu-
ments of the city, the following experience
Is given: A gentleman, the night of the
earthquake, was visiting the object of his at
fections, who resided in Que of the houses on
the Battery A mysterious rumbEng noise
was heard, and Immediately the first shock
followed. The lights went out, the plaster
fell around them, the air was filIeI with
noises, and, to add to the confusion of the
time, the door got iam1ned She suggested

Starting back to 60 lung lady, he threw
his arms around her, and, IN voice husky
with emotion, said: Darling, a tidal wave is
coming! 1t is already up to the windowsl

were found soon after by the family. 1t is
not to be wondered if the man. who was
proverbially bashful, received the reward to
which his conduct entitled him.-C Charleston

A FatIler,s Self Denial

mention of the success of a young American
girl as a viOlinist. She is travelling now and
meeting with recognition everywhere. Her
name is attached in my mind TO the strongest
example of fatherIo [ have ever known.
This girl when very young showed great in
clination for the violin. 1t was said by pro-
fessOrS if she was sent abroad she would prob
ably do extremely well. Her father had lust
lost his business and what money he had ever
been possessed of. What did he do? He said
TO the mother: go and take the child with
you. l will see that you do not have to re-
turn." The mother, a not Over-Selish person.

ADVICE TO MEDICAL STUDENTS.

Hygienic Rules Which All COllege-Attend-
ing Young Men Ought to Heed.
Most medical students do no reading during
the summer and thus make the winters work
all the more difficult. Such idleness during
vacation is, in many cases, essential to health,
owing to the student having become tagged
out by injudiciously hard work during the
winter. But such results can be avoided in
most cases by the adoption of a regular plan
and method Of studying such as the writer is
about to describe.
Deducting eight hours, which we will con-
slider the average requirement for sleep, we
have sixteen hours to be consumed in the
days requirements, medical and otherwise
Of these sixteen hours let us aIlot one hour to
toilet urposes-dressing, retiring and closet;
two and half hours to meals-three quarters
of an hour each for breakfast and lunch and
one hour for dinner Including the post pran-
dial cigar or cigarette); an hour and half
to exercise; one hour to unavoidable waste;
this leaves ten hours for study. Thus: Sleep,
s hours; meals, breakfast, 81; lunch, 30 din
ner, /; exercise, ~; toilet purposes, 1; I'M
avoidahle waste, /; study, 10. Total, "A
hours
The time allotted to study embraces the
hours spent in attending lectures, clinics, reci-
tatiOns or quizzes and in reading. 1t win be
noticed that no allowance has been made for
time consumed i'll going to and from college;
this should be considered as exercise, and the
student does well who selects a boarding
house distant about fifteen minutes from col
lege, and forms the habit of walking briskly
in coming and going; to a hard student
such exercise is the most beneficial, since
it is severe enough without being fatigu-
ing. But the medical student must have
recreation just as more fortunate beings he
CHI u y
recreation or rest without any medical
thoughts and also one evening during the
week-preferably about the middle; but this
evening cannot be fixed upon any particular
day, and had better be taken when the stu
dent feels i'll need of it. There always occur
to every one periods when the mind refuses to
act sufficiently for careful reading; when
such time appears, let the student give up
the attempt, and spend the evening at the
theatre or i'll company of friends at some
other sort of amusement.-Dr Charles Fl.

LOVES CREED.

Repent? Not 1! though the wide world may part
Me from you, Love, it cannot blot the past
The happy past, shrined deep within my heart
When round me your dear arms were knitted
fast.
The glutton, though swine, was in the right
Who said, Not heaven itself can take from me
The dinners h = eaten. Dearly bougi
My Joys, but mine through all eternity.
The love wherewith love is mine Away
A crown Of thorns and roses o my friend!
Which must wear through many weary day
My heart viii be the richer at the end.
Hove my love, and love, though you prove false,
You have been true. Who knoweth what may
be?
Lives meet and part, like dancers in the waltz.
Although you kin me, you have lived for me.
Though you should cast me out to droOp and pine,
Warm on your bosom many an hour lay;
That which had my king, will still be mine
When all l have shall fail and pass away.
I would buy y assure like brave mans child,
And cry, To-day is mine! The die is thrown,
Here to my arms, dear love; my chains filed,
Tomorrow may take counsel for his own.

Size of the First Watch.

At first the watch was about
the size Of a dessert plate. 1t
had weights, ard was used as a
''pocket clock" The earliest
known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862,
which mentions that Edward
VI had lone larum or watch Of
iron, the case being likewise of
iron gilt, with two plummets
of lead" The first watch may
readily be supposed to be Of
rude execution. The first great
improvement-the substitution
of springs for weights-was in
1860. The earliest springs were
not coiled, but only straight
pieces of steel. Early watches
had only one hand, and, being
wound up twice a day, they
could not be expected to keep
the time nearer than fifteen or
twenty minutes in twelve
hours. The dials were of silver
and brass; the cases had no
crystals, but opened at the back
and front, and were four or five
inches in diameter. A plain
watch cost more than 81, 500,
and, after one was ordered, it
took a year to make it.-Brook-
